Vesper 30,190 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hudson-Odoi last night became the youngest player in English football history to win his first competitive cap. NikkiCFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 What a talent he is. For me much bigger prospect then Sancho. It's just a matter of playing time and league quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly...even Sarri's most staunch supporters won't be able to give a good excuse for this nonsense from him. Even if CHO regularly came on as a sub in every game that would still be good. He just leaves him out in several games, and complains that he has too many wingers to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not care less about sarri myself, but what's in for him? How does Odoi's being so "promising" help him right now? What does he get by developing Odoi? that's the root problem with the club, not this particular manager. Have a feeling sarri is not really working "long term" at the moment.

Have a feeling sarri is not really working "long term" at the moment. This is exactly it, CHO may be the option with the greater rewards but he will still be viewed as the riskier option to the experience of Pedro and Willian. I've actually backed Sarri over his use and development of CHO, although I do think he should have given him a start or two by now in the Premier League. It is getting to the point now however where Sarri could gain some major and much needed credit with CHO. The fans are desperate to see him play as an academy star and also because nobody wants to see him leave, and with the fans becoming more disillusioned with the team and performances each and every week, I think his inclusion would lift the club as a whole and get the fans on side more, which in turn would buy Sarri more time which he is running out of at present. Either way though this will come to a head in the summer. The board have to 'prove' to CHO their backing and faith in him and the way in which they can do this is letting Hazard (possibly Willian) leave without replacing them with a star signing and instead making CHO their direct replacement. Certainly in Hazard's case, I see CHO as the only viable replacement that fans will give time and patience to. Any big signing to replace Hazard would be expected to hit the ground running and directly compared to Hazard throughout their career here and unless we got ridiculously lucky, it'll lead to a "no-win" situation for club and player.

Not sure credit with the fans will help sarri much. Reckon only results would appease the trigger-happy owner. Yes that’s the situation we are in... it made no sense to me that Odoi would have been out in the showroom with not enough time left on his contract... that’s very weird and suggests someone fucked up big time. now it is a bad situation for the club, having to convince him to stay. Odoi’s agent, and himself must be loving it... auction is On! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seeking retribution from the press for criticizing his tactics and selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,145 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 It seems that most people are focused on having a dig at Sarri for CHO playing for England but let's look at the other perspective. This is a massive moment for the club either way. We have the youngest English international to play a competitive game. Let's celebrate and hope everything just goes up for him from here.

Popular Post! Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 25, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted March 25, 2019 Southgate is just making a mockery of Sarri and what he has said about Callum. In fact it's embarrassing in all honesty and the shite that keeps coming from Sarri's gob is utter bollocks.

Tomo 21,751 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Lol, any other club gets a recently turned 18 year old in the England squad they would forever be used as an example of how we should be doing things, I can only imagine the City/Pep wankfest and club bashing on here had Foden got called up before CHO. Should he have played more? Yes, but ultimately he's made 20 ish appearances for us including a semi at Wembley and a cup final, and he's been called up on the back of it.

Yeah and if he stays he will have more time this summer since Hazard is leaving. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Unless we massively improve the midfield and fullbacks, it does not leave me enthusiastic about the possibility of CHO and Pulisic being our starting wingers next season.

Assuming there's no movement on our ban, it's either that or Willian and Pedro as our starting wingers. There will be some inconsistency naturally from two young players but with the right tactics there is a lot of potential having two very pacy, tricky and raw wingers. CHO in particular I do think could become a world beater in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
